Yuvraj Singh has predicted India opener Rohit Sharma would end as the man of the series award in the ongoing World Cup after the opener has struck four centuries in the group stage, so far. Sharma became the second Indian after Sachin Tendulkar to score 500 runs in a single edition of the World Cup.

Rohit ‘The Hitman’ Sharma was at it once again with the bat as he scored his fourth century in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 and was given good assistance by KL Rahul. The Mashrafe Mortaza-led Bangladesh side worked hard in their chase of 315 but Indian pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya took wickets at regular intervals to keep the men in blue in control of the match and eventually pick up a 28-run win. 

Yuvraj Singh, who was the man of the series when India clinched the World Cup title back in 2011, had already predicted that Rohit could be the man of the series last month.

Rohit became only the second Indian after Tendulkar to score 500 runs in a single edition of the World Cup. Tendulkar achieved this feat twice during the course of his illustrious career (673 runs in 2003 and 523 runs in 1996).
